The burden that we have been carrying for bo many years has been lifted from oulVhoulders, and with a long snort of satisfaction and relief we leap into the road of progress that leads to the future of success. Our achievements of tve past will pale into insignifi cance in view of the splen dors which the future ' is ready to ' unfold to us. We rejoice ovef the work we have done; and it is this joy that we are going to give utterance to on the 18th of next month in the grandest, moat complete and most unique jubilee that has ever been offered to the people of North Carolina. We want our friends to come and help us make merry. At 12 o'clock noon, on the 18 th of April, the excursion trains over the Oxford & Clarksville and Oxford & Henderson railroads will arrive at the new Oxford depot.

ANOTHER STRIKE, THIS TIME OF YARD SWUtH- MEN IN CHICAGO, STOPS FBEIOHT TRAFFIC ON THE BTJBLIXG TOU BOAD THE 8TRIKE SOT GEN ERAL OTHER NEWS By Telegraph to the Kews and Observer. Chicago, III., March 21. Traffic on the Burlington road, which yesterday was moving practically the same as before the engineers' strike, is today at a standstill again. TLis condition of affairs is due to the action of the two hundred switchmen employed in the BurliDgton yards hero, who struck early this morning without any nctice whatever to the road. The switch men at Aurora; Illinois, also struck, but that was the only outside point affected, as far as the company knew up to 8 o'clock this morning. The officials decided, however, to move no freight at all until this second strike is settled, and with the exception of live stocic trains in transit, no freight is moving. Paesenger 'rains arc run ning as usual. Bdbisgtox, Iowa, March 2-t There has not as yet been any strike of switchnien here, and none is reported on the Iowa division. St. Louis, Mo , lne report of a strike among brakenren and switch men on the BurliDgton svBtem has not materialized in this city or in East St. Louis, and inquiry among the men gives no cause to believe that there will be any trouble in this quarter. The men we:e all at work at 9-a. m. The company received no notice whatever of the intention to Btrike and has R8 yet received no authorita tive explanation. The switchmen, however, have been heard to say that they objected to working on an en gine not handled by the Brotherhood, as one of them put it this morning : "I don't throw anoiher switch for a non-l5rotb.erb.ood man, and no man can mate me. ia tue yaras tms morning and around the Brotherhood headquarters it was the common gos sip that : the switchmen had been taken in; the fold of the Engineer' and Firemen's Brotherhood in con sideration of their goingout on. the strike. The officials of the associa tion have been very anxious from the beginning of the strike trouble that the Brotherhood of Engineers should take them into their councils and place them on an an equal footiog, as they had done with the firemen, but the engineers seemed loth to d it, and gave as a reason that when strikes Occurred among the switchmen it was not long before coupling'-pins were flying through the air, and not long after that the mili tia or military were called out. It would seem that the two organiza tions have finally come to terms. It is thought that as fast as the grievance committees return to their lines all the switchmen between this point and Denver will quit- There are about 200 switchmen employed by the Burlington road here, and two or three hundred at other points along the line, bo that in all about 500 men are involved. About fifty aro em ployed at Galesburg, and all but one struck this morning, but at iiurung ton and St. Louis the men were all at work at last advices. Only three switch engines were at work on the line in Chicago today .they being used for making up passenger trains. Switching for them was done by the officials of the road, who volunteered for work.; Chief Arthur was inter viewed today, but nis ignorance re mains as profound as it has always been since the engineers strike began He did not know the switchmen had struck till he read the announcement in the papers. When asked why the switchmen .went out, he replied:' 'Their business is not ours, we have had ; nothing to do with the switchmen's strike, nor do we intend to. The Brotherhood will attend to its own affairs and will not presume to meddle with those of other organi zations." "What s the condition of the engi neerss' trike at the present tiire!""The mn wont give in and the company say that they will not, that's the way it stands." DIstiBfnlshad Speakers.

Mr. John Card well, the United Stales Consul General in Egypt, writes as follows to the State Depart ment: i At its session, on the 25th of this month, the Egyptian Legislative Council approved the -proposition of the Khedivial Ministry to impose a tax of K. 30 (thirty Egyptian pounds) on every feddan (1 1-20 acres) ot land cultivated in E.-ypt in tobacco. The proposition c -vers fractional parts of a feddan, and hence is di rected against production for family uses as well as for market consump tion. The proposition will speedily become a decree. Of course a tax equivalent to $157.50 per acre on bare production is prohibi tory, and hereafter even the poor fella heen of Egypt must buy tobacco which is universally consumed, from some other country. -About thirteen thou sand feddans is the annual growth of tobacco, m Esrypt, and hence, at production of 500 pounds per feddan, it will take 6,500,000 pounds of lm ported tobacco to make up the com ing deficiency on home production. The import tax upon tobacco will be about twenty-four cents per pound, i The cheapest tobacco in the East which may be drawn npon to supply the enforced Egypian de mand is found in Syria, but this will be undersold by a Grecian product which may be bought at about twenty cent s per pound.! Another year will bring about the necessity for the for eign supply, and the question is, who will meet it T I have examined the market reports of the United States and it appears to me, entirely possible for our tobacco growers , to meet the Egyptian de mand with profit to themselves. The only obstacle would seem to be that American tobacco may be too strong for the Egyptian taste. But the con sumption of tobacco in kgypt is alone through smoking, and know ing tne ingenious metnoas oy which our people ) so aptly meet the requirements of almost any taste, I cannot doubt their ability to satisfy Egyptian palates in this respect. It is very certainly worth the trial, and I earnestly hope steps may be taken which may lead to opening up a trade most beneficial to one of our most im portant industries.

C, March 22, '88 i This town, the county seat of the good old county of Pitt, is all alive this week, Superior Court being in session. Judge Avery is presiding, and he is spoken of here as elsewhere as a good judge and one of marked ability and profound legal knowledge. He is a working judge, dispatches business promptly and without undue haste, either. Solicitor Worihington is ever faith ful and manages his docket with ekill, ability and success- The criminal docket was finished yesterday after noon, and this mornincr the trial of civil cases began, which will continue for the balance of the term of two weeks. The presence of Capt. Swift Gallo way at this court is gratifying to his many friends, who remember him as the able, distinguished and exceed ingly popular solicitor of this di3trict only a few years ago. He was a model solici'or, brave, untiring and pre eminently successful, and receives a warm welcome aeaong his old friends. They tell us here that Col. Harry Skinner is the finest advocate at the Greenville bar. We had the pleasure of hearing him in a short speech, and noticed that members of the bar, as well as spectators, listened to him most attentively. His genius, bril liant and winning as it is, will no doubt soon carry him to the front among North Carolina's ablest and most honored sons. He is regarded as one of the most sa gacious political leaders in this east ern section, and in. campaign work as without a superior and with few equals. The most of the people we meet down tbis way favor Fowle for Gov ernor. The country people speak of him as the greatest man in the Dem ocr .tic party and they want a chance to vote for him. It is generally either Fowle or Jarvis, and when we find a man that does not say Fowle he is pretty apt to mention Jarvis. For Justice of the Supreme Court are mentioned Shepherd, Pruden and Avery, and the last named is as strongly endorsed here in the east as the other two. Congressman Latham arrived today from Washington City. He came Lome to be in attendance at court, as he is leading counsel in some impor tant civil causes.

Practical Aid Asked. Jno M. Robinson, Eeq. and Mai J. C. Winder of the Staboard Air Ijine have again shown beyond n doubt that they are not only ready to build up the manufacturing and industrial interest" of North Carolina but that tbs Seaboard Air Line stands ready to aid the farmers of the State in a very liberal and practical way, In accordance with the resolution given below, adopted by va rious Farmers' Institutes o other organizations, the Ssaboarql Air-Lino has agreed to transport ovef its entire line of road, provided -the Associated Roads do not object, al articles for use upon the county exi periment farms throughout North Carolina. Col. Andrew", of the Rich mond & Danville Railroad, has also indicated his willingness to reconw mend that his roads do & much! The request ia one which no road iri North Carolina, and, in fact, no line North or South, that receives the patronage of the farmers of the State, can refuse to grant, for they are asking but little. The entire' amount shipped free of cost to any one county will not exceed the weight of ten bales of cotton or two tons of guano. ; The farmers of each county pay to the various roads a thousand times more than this small favor they ask in return, and thev are nerht in saying the encour-J agement they ask if given will "in crease the traffic of all lines of road that are now interested in shipping to and from North Carolina. ' We predict in advance that every road interested will do as much as the Seaboard Air Line and the Rich mond & Danville. ' The following is the resolution passed by numerous Farmers' Insti tutes of the State: Whebbas, The farmers are the largest patrons of all railroads in North Carolina, and connecting lines, by shipping their: products made on tne I arm : ana consuming me larger portion of the freight received in the State, and furnish nine-tenths of the persons who visit agricultural fairs, they feel in return, tne various roaas will take pleasure in favoring us; therefore, be it : Keeolved, That we respectfully ask free carriage on articles for the ex periment larm, from the starting point to the nearest depot lo the va rious farms, and also free transporta tion for superintendent of f rm from the nearest station to experimental farm to the State fair and return. We shall expect as much, en account of the effortd we shall make for the de velopment of the agricultura' iater terests, which development will in ci ease the traffic of all lines of road that are now interested in shirking to and from North Carolina Afteb taking an inventory Heller Bros, find too much stock on hand.
